Hi Albert: Please check some journalism text book for guidance on how to learn film criticism. Also, two prominent film criticism in/from Goa are Ervelle Menezes, former News Editor of Indian Express, from Bastora, and agnela ronita torcato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
But it is important for your son to build confidence by getting some of his work published. If Goa actually becomes the venue for the IFFI (International Film Festival of India), then this kind of writing would get a boost. Otherwise too, there is scope for any kind of writing, if one knows how to get it published in the right quarters. Needless to say, any form of writing is both about content and form. It is important for your son to adequately understand the 'form' required to be used by a film-critic. Just as an essay is different in shape, size and orientation from a short story, or a report, or an editorial... Newspapers in Goa offer token payments, which may be Rs 100 or 200 at best. But that's not the issue. My advice to young writers is not to be too much concerned about how much they're getting paid. Instead, they should focus on becoming good at their job, and then they will automatically attract good payments. Hope this helps.

He writes descriptions of films on his window word and the report is so good that I felt the same could be sent to some newspapers who would pay him for his hard work. He will write about a particular film. the script writer,about the director, about the rating of that film etc etc in a most professional way. Could some one help me to get the email address of newspapers which will accept this news script of his for a payment ? albert =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--W-E-B--S-I-T-E--=-=-=-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from Saligaonet | http://www.goacom.com/saligao_tinto/ ============================================================================ * Send e=mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (NOT [EMAIL PROTECTED]) * Leave SUBJECT blank <--- Commom Mistake !! * On first line of the BODY of your message, type: subscribe saligaonet YOUR.EMAIL OR unsubscribe saligaonet YOUR.EMAIL Questions/Problems?
